Lightbulb Something I saw at the dealer yesterday.

I was wandering the lot while I was having some work done looking at the Camaros - they had roughly 7 SS's on the lot.

Only 1 had the weights on the front calipers, but several had what looked like "rollers" sticking up off the pads.

Sorry - no pics. *Edit - pic.*



I assume that this is the new way they have come up with to work around this - has anyone else noticed this ?

Definitely different looking !

Re: Wheel weights on the calipers

Sounds like you will have to. What wheels did you get? What size?

Re: Wheel weights on the calipers

I forgot all about this. I see a new Camaro every day and I don't even notice it. I guess I look at other things.

I can ask at the next Disciple meeting, but I don't know when that will be.

Have you considered removing them and see if you experience any noise when applying the brakes?
